I would like to pre-post here for critique before posting at Landscape. I have several problems. One is being able to choose which to post and or even if any are worthy. Two is if the processing is ok.
This is 3 images from last weeks hike in Taylor Creek Zion. This is known as Double Arch Alcove and is fairly well known but not as common as other icons. It is in a part of Zion that is less frequented, and is a 2-1/2 mile hike one way and because of the tight canyon very difficult to photograph.
The sun is behind the scene and I am shooting the shaded side, but the deep red, and great reflected light sets the walls aglow. I have not added saturation, but maybe I need to remove some to make it believable. The DR is easy and these are single shots with not a lot of processing.
There is no room to get back far enough to include the whole cliff with a level camera, not even 11mm is wide enough. The first is a vertical with a small upward angle and most of the bottom cut off. I don’t like squarish landscapes so I am showing this more for info,
The second is level and has some bottom cut off but only shows the bottom alcove.
The third is tilted up enough to show both alcoves. It has leaning trees but if I fixed them, the whole scene goes bonkers.
I made verticals for pano stitching but the distortion between shots makes a very bad looking stitch.
Please let me know what you would do with these.
